Integrate Schools. End the SHSAT

Admission to the specialized high schools by a single test greatly contributes to segregation and education inequity in New York City. End the NY State law that requires use of the Specialized High School Exam.

Why is this important?

New York has the most segregated schools in the US. NYC is the only district in the nation with high schools that use a single test to determine admission. Integrated schools are best for all children. It's now sixty-five years after Brown v. Board of Ed. We should no longer support school segregation.
